Thank you, Charles for correcting me. As I said, I am not a lawyer, and I am glad that someone with more knowledge of this subject was able to "set the record straight."
Further proof of what we already know: This is a great forum where we can get good advice regarding guns, shooting sports, and concealed carry law. Thank you, for that, too!

This is what I was told by my CHL class instructor: Employers are not bound to use the wording of PC §30.06 to effectively ban CCW.
Relative portion of Government Code:
GC §411.203. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYERS. This subchapter does not
prevent or otherwise limit the right of a public or private employer to
prohibit persons who are licensed under this subchapter from carrying
a concealed handgun on the premises of the business.
In other words, since the policy is no handguns, and you were made aware of that policy, you could be charged with trespass by a CHL, even without a PC §30.06 - worded sign/written notice.
For what it's worth, I am not a lawyer, and this should not serve as legal advice. Perhaps someone more familiar will chime in with a more definitive answer.
